The Doom Patrol Archives #1
The Doom Patrol Archives #1 kicks off with "The Doom Patrol (Chapter 1)," a foundational tale written by Arnold Drake and Bob Haney and illustrated by Bruno Premiani, whose distinctive art brings the team’s early encounters to life. When the Doom Patrol investigates strange, otherworldly beasts on two separate missions, a news report by Dr. Janus hints at a meteorite impact from fifteen years prior—rumored to have carried living creatures—though Robotman’s memories of that event don’t align with the official story. The cover, also by Premiani, captures the eerie, mysterious tone of the team’s first chapter.
